hourly wage
Pay per clock
An hourly wage is pay calculated by the hour rather than by salary, project, or piece.
Workers earning hourly wages are typically paid only for hours actually worked and may receive overtime for exceeding standard hours: The job pays an hourly wage of eighteen dollars.
The term often implies lower-status employment compared to salaried positions.
